End of walk, Kokura

Another serve-yourself breakfast - bliss! We walked to the station with Andrew, the guide, caught a train to where we started then another on to Kokura. the first stop in Kyushu for trains from the main island. Andrew was excellent company, as were Sid and M (from Singapore).

Our plan was to rest, do some washing, and look around... but we had found a laundromat in Yufuin, so we had plenty of time in Kokura.

Kokura has few tourists because it has few attractions, but there was a large, impressive castle and a cat on a shrine controllled by dogs. We spent a lot of time wandering through a covered maze of tiny shops.18.080/12.7km and 9 flightsLeia mais
